The sweet science of Foosball 2012

Today on Saturday Morning Hangover, I knew we were going to have something special going on. See, my wife fancies herself quite the Foosball player and is extremely competitive, so I thought it would be fun to see how she does at Foosball 2012 for the PlayStation 3. It was either going to end in her over-excitedly bragging (hilarious) or shrieking over the agony of defeat (also hilarious), and she did not disappoint.

But that's not all! We played the week's supply of fresh Xbox Live Indie Games demos and there were some standout titles. Smatter is a twin stick shooter with an exploration bent that was quite fun, while Retro Arcade Adventure Remade provided a really solid hack-and-slash experience. And we remake the video for Dire Strait's "Money For Nothing" while playing Uproar!.

All this, plus a trip to the Dafoeverse. Could there have been some cheeky monkeys playing April Fools this week? Oh, there just might...
